ARLINGTON -- You know Mike Napoli, right.

Right?

Beard down to his nipples and tattoos up to them. Unofficial mayor of Uptown Dallas. The guy ordering up chocolate fountains and ostriches for a "Party at Napoli's," in a Rangers TV commercial and advertising said party on a T-shirt sold at Globe Life Park. And a complete mama's boy.

Yep, that's ... wait, what?

"I'm not afraid to say that, I definitely am a mama's boy," Napoli said last week.
